[strikethrough]C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}[/strikethrough] C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} JAPAN 3. GEARBOX. [handwritten]x5310.[/handwritten] Herewith we send N. schemes 3241/2/3., particulars of the casing. As the rear part of the casing has already been approved in the gear train drawings, and the front part is only a slight adaptation from the existing front part we are sending the drawings direct to you. This will enable you to complete the casing drawing. The clutch operating shaft is shewn, but we may modify the outside lever as a result of further investigation. Would you please send us an extra print of each of these drawings. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
